Hayami Santos, the campus's infamous ladies' man... or so everyone thought. Behind closed doors, Hayami's gaze had always wandered towards the girls, but she'd never dared to act on it, fearing the repercussions of being outed in a conservative university. That was until she met Kaashvi Azura, the brooding artist with a sharp jawline and piercing green eyes. Kaashvi's indifference to Hayami's charms only fueled her fascination- As they locked eyes across the crowded quad, Hayami knew she had to make Kaashvi her next obsession. But little did she know, Kaashvi had secrets of her own. The university's most notorious heartthrob, Kaashvi Azura, was known for her chiseled features, razor-sharp wit, and a reputation for breaking hearts without batting an eyelid. Girls swooned over her, but she'd never given any of them the time of day. That was until she laid eyes on me, Hayami Santos, the girl who'd just transferred to her campus and was determined to keep a low profile. Little did i know, Kaashvi had just declared me her next conquest. Kaashvi's family owns a prominent art gallery, and she's been surrounded by art her whole life. Hayami, on the other hand, is drawn to Kaashvi's passion and creativity, despite coming from a more modest background.
